A Brooklyn woman is suing the Yankees after she said she was shocked so badly during a home game at the stadium that she needed to be hospitalized.

Portia Walton, 54, went to the ballpark to watch the Yankees take on the Minnesota Twins on April 4, according to her attorney Les Levine. Walton was sitting outside the Hard Rock Cafe at the stadium when she put her foot down on a metal hatch on the sidewalk, which had an extension cord sticking out of it that powered outdoor lights, Levine said.
